Aftermath of the Robbery at the Wayne Manor

When Detectives Harvey Bullock and Amanda Wong were sent to investigate a robbery at the Wayne Manor, Martha was the one to answer the door. Harvey whistled at the sight of her, mostly impressed at what he viewed as her show of confidence which he likened to Fish Mooney. Amanda asked Martha if she had been present during the robbery, to which Martha said that she had been asleep.[1]

A few nights later, the entire Wayne family was enjoying a night out at a circus. As they were watching a performance by the local siamese singers, Jerome knocked into Thomas Wayne. Jerome then snapped at Thomas to which he was chided by Martha for his apparent carelessness. Jerome then insulted them, which prompted another chiding from Martha. After Alfred's reply seemingly garnered nothing but a creepy smile from Jerome, Bruce then reminded Jerome that the act of being rude wasn't funny. Jerome then challenged this remark by referring to Bruce by name and questioning the degree of privilege that was afforded to him. His mother Lila then made an appearance, pulling Jerome into a trailer marked with a sign that said: Snake Charmer. Alfred then criticized the mother's behavior while Bruce remarked how Jerome seemed to be creepy

One night, while walking through an alley to catch a cab, Martha and her family were mugged by an armed robber. After taking Martha's pearl necklace, the robber deliberately murdered Martha, only seconds after he did the same to her husband Thomas.[2]

Selina Kyle, picking up a photograph in Wayne Manor, observed to Bruce that "she looks nice", which gave him an opening to berate himself once more for his inaction.[3]
